Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, ...

... for real. Or, if you take the anatomy references too seriously.

The piece here displays Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, and attempts to show what they would look like if the actual anatomy of a duck and a mouse were followed.

«What's Up, Albrecht?»

"What's Up, Albrecht?", Florian Satzinger, 2025
Almost exactly 523 years later. The original artwork is also intended to hang in a museum, just not in the Albertina.

Ever since I can remember, by which I mean since my childhood or school days, I've been using drawing pads with the red cover featuring Albrecht Dürer's hare. I like the rough surface and the warm white of this paper. It was bound to become a duck at some point, so the hare would eventually become a duck. It can also be understood as a kind of self-portrait.

Donald Duck – Congratulations in advance

This old friend of mine has birthday next Monday, and I'm sending him my congratulations now because I won't be able to make it in the next few days.

About the work: these parody artworks of classical cartoon characters, blended with artists and works from modern art and culture, are not copies but distinct satiric imitations/caricatures, by exaggerating and transforming the original characters and their related indica in a way that creates new originals and new meanings, different from the intentions of the originals.

I also created a version of 'Daisy Fashionista Extraordinaire' with "big hair." Not only that, but I have to dig out all the preliminary drafts when I get a chance:

(Update) Speaking of which, a few sketches on the development of the fashionista and the sailor:

Female Duck with Coffee-Break Hat

(2025) Florian Satzinger – Salvador Dali's imaginative hats have already inspired me to create a series of drawings depicting absurdly beautiful headgear.

Mixed media (highly pigmented pastels, watercolors and wax crayons) on coarse-grained Edition Dürer® drawing paper.

The Snoopy Rex

The Snoopy Rex wasn't really an idea that haunted me, but I drew him anyway.

Zoolander?

What if Daisy Duck teams up with Derek Zoolander? What did I draw here?

East of Porterville

I returned to an older work of mine for a few small additions, which was one of the central pieces in my exhibition at the Karikaturmuseum Krems.
Anyway, the reason is that I stumbled upon a small painting by Carl Barks by chance. Going with the title "East of Porterville" (#21-69, 1969, Carl Barks). And—due to the similar layout—it reminded me of my work. The two paintings clearly tell different stories; Barks' is obviously showing an abandoned house, the mailbox having since become a nesting place for songbirds. Mine, on the other hand, emphasizes an architectural idea. What Donald Duck's "ordinary" suburban house, with its gabled roof and all the rest we know from it, would look like if Carl Barks had opted for a modernist version.
In any case, I had now borrowed the little songbird from Barks's painting. It somehow completes the picture now.

ACME Jetpack Upgrade

I've never posted Daffy Duck's jetpack upgrade before, have I?
Now I have. Clearly inspired by Wile E. Coyote's Acme Bat-Man's outfit (Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z, (1956) Warner Bros. Looney Tunes); not the color scheme, but you know, the wings and all.

Freshly tapped anger clouds

Freshly tapped clouds of anger, straight from Donald Duck's head. Just a moment after they're created, they are filled into transparent balloons and ready to be carried around. It's currently a hit at Duckburg's annual fairground.

Unfortunately, the business idea doesn't come from Donald himself, but from Uncle Scrooge. Donald is furious, which, in turn, is good for business and production performance.

(You can see a rough color drawing of Donald Duck selling transparent balloons filled with his trademark dark clouds of anger.)

Donald Duck,twice different

Two of my favorite adaptations of Donald Duck. One blends Donald Duck with Popeye the Sailor, the other strictly follows the actual anatomy of a real duck, at least as far as the head is concerned.

Pencil horn

The troll who grew a pencil instead of a second horn.

Mouseling, Mickey

Somehow I evaporated Mickey Mouse into something I didn't want and now I like it.

#floriansatzinger #personalartwork #mickeymouse #caricature #satire #museumart

(A drawing of a mouse resembling Mickey Mouse, but this one is of elementary school age and has thick, fluffy black fur. He also doesn't wear the famous red button-up pants or yellow shoes. The mouse's gaze appears focused and cheeky.)

The Nautilus Dime

The "Nautilus Dime" is Scrooge McDuck's orca-shaped special submarine for use in the deepest areas of his coin-filled money bin.

Pencils, Duck And Creatures

Drawing around, inventing around, looking for shapes, all very roughly and without the goal of finalizing the drawing.
